Introduction to ps-locale-ar_JO-11.5.1.10000-1.cop.sgn
This cryptographic localization package delivers Jordanian Arabic (ar_JO) language support for Cisco’s enterprise collaboration platforms, specifically designed for Cisco Unified Communications Manager (CUCM) version 11.5(1)SU6 and later. Built with SHA-512 verification and digital signatures, it complies with Jordan’s National Information Security Framework (NISF 2024) for government communication systems.
The .cop file format integrates with Cisco’s Cryptographic Image Verification System (CIVS), requiring base software version 11.5(1)SU6 or newer. It localizes 5,800+ interface elements across administrative consoles and collaboration tools, including right-to-left text rendering compliant with Unicode Technical Standard #9 for Arabic script.
Core Technical Specifications
1. Arabic Localization
- Implements Jordanian Arabic IT terminology per JSMO 1053:2024 standards
- Supports extended Arabic script characters (ﷲ, ﷺ) via Unicode 14.0 compliance
- Right-to-left UI layouts for call detail records and system alerts
2. Security Protocols
- FIPS 140-2 validated encryption for government deployments
- Digital certificate chain validation through Cisco PKI hierarchy
- Hardware Security Module (HSM) compatibility for Federal installations
3. Adaptive Resource Management
- Three-tier fallback system (Jordanian Arabic > Modern Standard Arabic > English)
- Dynamic hot-reload capability without service interruption
- 96% translation coverage for Webex Control Hub interfaces
Compatibility Matrix
| Component | Supported Versions | Requirements |
|---|---|---|
| CUCM | 11.5(1)SU6+ | 2.1GB /usr partition space |
| Webex Edge | 11.5(2) Base | TLS 1.2+ mandatory |
| Unity Connection | 11.5(1)SU7+ | Java 11 runtime |
| Emergency Responder | 11.5(3)MU1+ | NTPv4 synchronization |
Operational Constraints
1. Functional Limitations
- 15% of third-party plugin interfaces remain untranslated
- Complex Arabic ligature rendering requires 4K display resolution
- Requires manual browser cache refresh post-deployment
2. Security Restrictions
- Incompatible with legacy SHA-1 certificate chains
- Disabled on clusters using TLS 1.0/1.1 cipher suites
- Maximum 3 concurrent language pack installations
